• Glucose in blood samples reacts with the chemical in the
test strip to produce a small electrical current. The CareSens
II meter detects this electrical current and measures the
amount of glucose in the blood sample.
• The CareSens II blood glucose meter should be used only
with the CareSens strip.
• An abnormally high or low red blood cell count (hematocrit
level over 60% or below 20%) may produce inaccurate results.
• If your test result is below 60 mg/dL (3.3 mmol/L) or above
240 mg/dL (13.3 mmol/L), consult a healthcare professional
immediately.
• Inaccurate results may occur in severely hypotensive
(having low blood pressure) individuals or patients in shock.
Inaccurate low results may occur for individuals experiencing
hyperglycemic-hyperosmolar state, with or without ketosis.
Critically ill patients should not be tested with blood glucose
meters.
• Inaccurate results may occur in patients undergoing oxygen
therapy.

CareSens Control Solution (control A and/or B).
The CareSens Control Solution contains a known
amount of glucose and is used to check that the
meter and the test strips are working properly.
The test strip vials have CareSens Control Solution
ranges printed on their labels. Compare the result
displayed on the meter to the CareSens Control
Solution range printed on the test strip vial.
Before using a new meter or a new vial of test strips,
you may conduct a control solution test following the procedure
on pages 21-22.
Notes:
• Use only the CareSens Control Solution (available for
purchase separately).
• Check the expiration date printed on the bottle. When you
first open a control solution bottle, record the discard date
(date opened plus three (3) months) in the space provided
on the label.
• Make sure your meter, test strips, and control solution are at
room temperature before testing. Control solution tests must
be done at room temperature (20-25˚C/68-77˚F).
• Before using the control solution, shake the bottle, discard
the first few drops and wipe the tip clean.
• Close the control solution bottle tightly and store at a
temperature between 8-30˚C (46-86°F).

What is AST (Alternate Site Testing)?
Usually, when someone tests their glucose, they take the blood
sample from the tip of the finger. However, since there are many
nerve endings in the fingertip, it can be quite painful.
When doing a glucose test, using different parts of the body such
as the forearms, palms, thighs, and calves can reduce the pain
during testing. This method of testing with different parts of the
body is called Alternate Site Testing. While AST may reduce the
pain during testing, it may not be simple for everyone and the
following precautions should be observed during testing.
Alternate Site Testing
[Alternate Sites for Testing]
Alternate Site Blood Sampling
(forearm, palm, thigh, calf)
Select a clean, soft and fleshy sample site area free of visible veins
and hair and away from bones. Gently massage the sample site
to help blood circulation to minimise result differences between
fingertip and alternate site sampling.
Firmly press and hold the lancing device against site. Wait until
the skin surface under the lancing device changes color. Then
press the release button while continuing to apply pressure.
Keep holding the lancing device against your skin until sufficient
(at least 0.5 μL, actual size: ) blood is drawn. Carefully lift the
lancing device away from your skin.
Things to know when using AST
Please read the following before testing at alternate sites
(forearms, palms, thighs, and calves).
The capillary whole blood at the fingertips reflects changes in
glucose levels more rapidly than in alternate sites. The test results
from the fingertip testing and AST may differ due to factors such
as lifestyle and ingested food which affect glucose levels.
Acceptable Situations for AST
When your blood glucose levels are stable
• Fasting period
• Before a meal
• Before sleeping
Situations Requiring Fingertip Test
When your blood glucose levels are unstable
• During two (2) hours after a meal or exercise
• When sick or when glucose levels seem quite lower than
test value
• When hypoglycemia is not well recognised
• When insulin has the biggest effect
• During two (2) hours after an insulin injection

32 33
AST Precautions
• Do not ignore the symptoms of hyperglycemia or
hypoglycemia.
• When the results of the test do not reflect your opinion,
retest using the fingertip test. If the fingertip result still does
not reflect the way you feel, please consult your healthcare
professional.
• Do not rely on the AST results for changing your treatment
method.
• The amount of glucose in alternate sites differs from person
to person.
• Before using AST, please consult your healthcare professional.
• Note
Results from alternate sites and fingertip samples may differ
from each other as there is a time lag for the glucose levels to
reach the same value. Use a fingertip for testing if you suffer
from hypoglycemia or have experienced hypoglycemic shock or
symptoms.
• Note
If the sample drop of blood runs or spreads due to contact
with hair or with a line in your palm, do not use that sample. Try
puncturing again in a smoother area.
• Note
Please contact your authorised i-SENS sales representative, if such
messages are displayed even if you do not have hyperglycemia or
hypoglycemia.
• HI Message
The meter displays results between 20-600
mg/dL (1.1-33.3 mmol/L).
"HI" appears when the blood glucose level is
greater than 600 mg/dL (33.3 mmol/L) and
indicates severe hyperglycemia (much higher
than normal glucose levels).
If "HI" is displayed again upon retesting,
please contact your healthcare professional
immediately.
• Lo Message
"Lo" appears when a test result is less than
20 mg/dL (1.1 mmol/L) and indicates severe
hypoglycemia (very low glucose levels).
If "Lo" is displayed again upon retesting,
please contact your healthcare professional
immediately.

Target Blood Glucose Ranges
Expected Values : The range of a normal fasting* blood glucose
level for non-diabetic adults is between 70-99 mg/dL (3.9-5.5
mmol/L). Two (2) hours after a meal, the range of a normal
blood glucose level for non-diabetic adults is less than
140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L).
*Fasting is defined as no caloric intake for at least eight (8) hours.
